Magnetostorm

What the solar wind hitting Earth right now sounds and looks like — a live sonification and particle aurora driven by NOAA SWPC real-time solar-wind telemetry (DSCOVR / ACE + IMAP I-ALiRT).

Audio + WebGL begin on Start. Drag to steer the field; the data drives the aurora. Falls back to a modeled G2 storm sample if the live feed is unreachable.
